First Vienna FC 1894 and Queens Park Rangers played out a goalless draw in an international club friendly on July 12, 2026. The match, held at the Hohe Warte Stadium, served as useful pre-season preparation for both sides.

Friendly Encounter

Both managers used the opportunity to rotate their squads and give minutes to fringe players. QPR, the Championship side, controlled large spells of the first half but lacked a cutting edge in the final third. First Vienna, an Austrian Regionalliga side, defended doggedly and created a couple of chances on the break, most notably a long-range effort that forced a smart save from the QPR goalkeeper.

The second half saw a flurry of substitutions as both coaches experimented with formations. QPR introduced more first-team regulars, but First Vienna continued to frustrate them. The best chance of the half fell to the away side when a cross found an unmarked striker, but his header sailed just wide. In stoppage time, First Vienna almost snatched a winner, but the final shot was blocked on the line.

What the Result Means

A clean sheet for the home team against a higher-division opponent will provide a confidence boost ahead of their league campaign. QPR, meanwhile, will focus on improving their finishing and sharpening their attacking combinations before the new season. The draw gives both sides plenty to work on in training.
